CUB GRUB

RED, WHITE AND BLUE TWISTSYork Adams Area Council

Open enough red
(cherry), white (mystery flavor), and blue (raspberry/blueberry?) Airheads to
make enough treats for the boys in the den. Stack the 3 colors on top of each
other on a piece of waxed paper. Using a roller pin, meld them together so
they’ll stick together when you twist them. Cut the stack lengthwise into
strips so that they are as wide as they are thick. Twist each stick like a
barber’s pole to for red-white-blue twists.

APPLE PIE SNACKSYork Adams Area Council

Aside from baseball and Chevrolet, what could be more
American than Apple Pie? Premix and roll out pie dough, cut into circles to
fit in individual serving pie tins. Premix apple filling (or use a canned
variety). At the start of the meeting, have the boys put the dough into their
own pie tin, add the filling and cover with another piece of dough. Let them
“carve” their initial into the top pie dough. During the meeting, let these
bake and cool. Serve with ICE CREAM J at the end of
the meeting.

JELL-O STARSYork Adams Area Council

You’ll need red, white and blue colored
jell-o. To make the white jell-o, mix a box of Knox gelatin with ½-cup of
boiling water and add this to a container of Cool-Whip. In a flat pan, pour a
¼-inch layer of blue jell-o and allow it to set. Mix the white gelatin and
add a ¼-inch layer and allow it to set. Finally, add a ¼-inch layer of the
red jell-o. Once it is all set, use a star-shaped cookie cutter and cut out
stars for snack.

U-N-C-L-E- S-A-MYork Adams Area Council

Give each boy a
piece of paper with these letters spaced out so that they can create their own
messages using the UNCLE SAM letters as the first letter of each word. For
example, “Under Northern Clouds Lie Extremely Sunny Areas Mostly.” Give them
enough time to complete their messages and then let them read to the rest of
the group.

FAMOUS AMERICANS RELAYYork Adams Area Council

Split the den into
two teams. The first person on each team runs from the starting line to a
turn-around point where he shouts out the name of a famous American and then
returns to the starting line where he tags the next boy to repeat the run. No
one can repeat a name that’s already been said. The first team finished wins.
